It can't be six months










It doesn't seem possible we have not updated the blog for more than 6 months.  Just when you think you are almost finished there are still seemingly endless small (and not so small) tasks to be completed.  A bannister for the back stairs, tidying up hairline cracks which form as the timber frame settles, the last sections of oak cladding, doors for the workshop and the garage, a wood shed and a very long retaining wall on the south side. Add to this relocating the enormous heap of clay, spreading the topsoil and seeding the lawn areas and the last blog in May seems like yesterday.

Preparing the lower lawn area for seeding
But looking back we have made good progress. The house is 99% complete and the major landscaping done.  Now the rain has returned the pond and the wildlife area in the lower garden will probably have to wait until the spring.
Finishing the oak cladding on the rear of the garage
The following "point and shoot" photos will give some idea of the interior.  When time permits they will be updated with more professional images.

  1. Sounds like a PhD - 99% done and still the little bits of work seem endless. Glad to see another update and the photos looking so much more complete and comfortable.

    Looking forward to hearing more about the work of Exergy Devices (link please?)...
